“Quick scissor” drill is too advanced for my players. Only a few could do it properly. On the other hand, It opens the door and open their eyes about attacking possibilities.

Post Session Self Reflection: Ok session delivery from my part.

However, I should have concentrate only on the drift defence drill as it was the first time my players were introduced to this concept, and spend more time on it. This session must be repeated for some parts of it. Team was having real fun during team play. After 6 sessions, I am getting more and more on the Key Factor which was one of my area of improvement. Keep it up!
